Thanks Heather MacAlister for your off line communication. I have tried to use the familytree.co.za website with little success. I even subscribed and tried to find anything further I needed to do, but was unsuccessful. It was surprising to me that I couldn't use the site as I use all kinds of internet sites with good success. Also further questions to this response: Unfortunately most passengers are not listed by their first names only surnames and initials. In normal passenger arrivals only first and 2nd class passengers got a mention and if you were economy or steerage their was just a number. Troops unless you were the major general or of high ranking only number of soldiers were listed. These lists can only be found in old newspapers in the Cape Town Archives and in KEW. Would the family have traveled with the troops? If in 1st or 2nd class would they have surnamed and initialed all four or just R Bodily and a family of 3 or something like that? In response to Heather MacAlister's response about: With regards to the English churches in Cape Town - they could have attended the St. Georges Cathedral which is an Anglican church and was probably the most famous for the amount for British soldiers who married in this church from the garrison and the Chevonne Battery in Green Point. Was this church open in the years of 1847 to 1851? Is this one of the churches that is shortly to be extracted and added to Ancestry? Thanks again to everyone for the help.
